I am attempting to repartition my hard drive. I have repartitioned the drive before when experimenting with different os's. For some reason that I can't determine, I cannot shrink the volume anymore than 450 MB. It says "Size of available shrink space in MB: 450" Also, there is a partition on the hard drive that is 478 MB. I'm not sure why it is there unless it is residual from when I was dual booting Linux. Would it be safe to get rid of this partition? It is not the recovery partition.
If anyone cared, I did a disk cleanup and also went to more options and cleared out old restore points. Ended up cleaning off about 10gb of temp files etc. I now have over 50 GB of space I can partition. Windows 7 here I come.
